Strum
D-DU-UDU
Three bars Arpeggio (base then ( @ 3))
Finger an E chord and play bottom 5 strings repeating 5/6
Played as Intro and at end of every line. Phrasing very tricky, drawn out and sped up, I have tried
to transcribe accurately but not 100%. Close enough for Government work.
Deep and / dark are my / true love's / eyes, /
